Proxmox Bug: Is proxmox-boot-tool still a thing?

I see it here mentioned as an integral part of updates:

https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Host_Bootloader

But I just did a fresh proxmox system install and immediately logged in to run "proxmox-boot-tool status" and got the error:

"E: /etc/kernel/proxmox-boot-uuids does not exist."

Fresh install. btrfs on root. EFI and Secure Boot enabled (GRUB). Also did an update and rebooted. Still no file.

I then went and ran:

"proxmox-boot-tool init /dev/sda2"

(where sda2 was my EFI partition)

It copied initramfs and the kernel to the EFI partition and made the proxmox-boot-uuids file. Those appearently are only on the root fs partition in /boot in a default install unless you run the init command.

I just don't understand why this isn't happening on a default install and seems like a bug to me.
